Hello Everyone,
I hope you have all had a good week & weekend.
Time seems to be going so quickly! But good news is I am off work for the week yay.
Recently I've started using a new brand of skincare goodies "Skin Truth". I had previously heard of them through being a beautician as I have used some of their products while training & things. But I had never tried the skin care products on myself. I had looked at them when going to Pro Beauty at the Excel but never actually brought the skin care range.
So I thought I would bite the bullet & try some out for myself. As it's always good finding new products which work well on your skin.
Skin Truth is a professional beauty range which includes advanced ingredients while giving a enhanced salon experience. All their products are also Paraben, Sulphate & Mineral oil free. They literally also have a range to suit everyone for everything from skin care, to manicure products to aromatherapy goods. You can purchase them from Salons who stock them, from beauty shows, to beauty trade shops or even online to try them for yourself. But I am literally so impressed with the range of products they have to offer.
My skin type is pretty much combination. Simply because I can have oily areas to my face & in places it can become dry also.
So from the skincare range the best is the "Equalising". This range helps to balance your moisture levels while using natural ingredients. It helps to even your skin tone & equalise your oils in your skin to give you a healthy complexion. Which we all love.
They contain Orange Blossom which helps to heal delicate skin, Ginger extract to help balance the skin's oil production.
So from the Equalising range I got 3 products to try:
Toner - This helps to clarify & refresh your skin. It is perfect for using daily on your face to help remove any oil, traces of make up.It is a soft & light product which should really be included in your daily skin care routine. Especially when it is so easy to use. You just apply it to a damp cotton wool pad & apply it to your face & neck making sure you avoid the eye & lip area.
Mud Mask - I absolutely love a face mask. There is nothing better than sitting with a face mask on your face & washing it off & your skin feeling super smooth, soft & glowing after it. I think they are such an important product for a skincare routine. This mask is enriched with dead sea mud which helps to purify your complexion by removing any impurities & excess oil. You apply it to clean skin & coat your face & neck with the mask. Then leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with water & dry your face.
Velvet Soft Facial Serum - I will admit I don't always use a serum or a facial oil on my face everyday. It's just not something I have used daily of my face until recently because I do have oily areas to my face I have to be careful what kind of serum or facial oil I use as they can make my skin more oily. This serum helps to restore natural radiance to your skin. This serum is suitable for all skin types, it is enriched with Acerola & rose extracts which help to replenish & moisturise the skin.
The quality of these products are amazing & they are literally value for money. You do get salon quality for such a good price. I cannot wait to try more of their products! One of my favourite products from my skincare range is a hot cloth cleanser. It literally is my go to product. I currently use No 7 & swear by it but I might have to try the Skin Truth one & see what it is like.

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all well?
I am starting to recover from my operation which I had on Saturday morning. I am slowly getting myself back to normal. I have felt a bit uncomfortable since then but with the medication, painkillers & of course time to recover I will get there. It of course needed to be done so it was for the best right?
After my few days in hospital I came home & felt so horrible. Like even my skin felt dry & I just didn't feel clean in myself. So a few days after & I have said to myself that I need to get back into a proper skin care routine & get my skin back so It is better. I think the lack of sleep, attention & things made it a bit neglected.
As you all know I love finding new skin care products & trying them out. There is nothing better than finding a good skincare product that actually works & make you feel better in your own skin & also improve its condition.
Super Facialist by Una Brennan is an affordable skin care range that will not break your bank & gives you good results! It is great quality for money.
Una Brennan is a London based facialist who won over celebrities like Sienna Miller & Laura Bailey with her facials just by word of mouth in Notting Hill. It was from there she built up her reputation. Then in 2012 Una launched her Super Facialist range with Boots.
In the range she has developed there is literally something for everyone no matter what your skin type! Whether you want to hydrate your skin, brighten it, use something with anti-ageing properties there is literally something for you.
I have recently tried out:
Salicylic Acid - Anti Blemish Pore Purifying Clay Mask
I am a huge fan of clay masks. I have used different ones for a while now & I really like them because I feel like they really detox your skin. This clay mask helps to clear out the dirt, excess oils & any toxins from the skin. It is these 3 main reasons why we get breakouts. This mask contains Salicylic Acic which is proven to help clear clogged skin, enhance your skin with vitamin B3 which is also in the mask. Then of course dead sea mask mud which absorbs all the oils from the skin. Which helps give you the perfect detox mask to carry out at home. Not only that but it also contains many other vitamins which are great for your skin.
It is best to use this mask like 1-2 times a week as products like this can end up drying out your skin otherwise.Then:
*Apply a generous amount of product to cleansed skin
*Leave on for 5 minutes
*Then rinse with warm water
If you do like this mask there is also two other products in this range the Purifying facial wash & also purifying & refresh face scrub.
Rose Hydrate - Miracle Makeover Facial Oil
When it comes to using facial oils on myself I have to be careful because some facial oils can leave my skin feeling oily for some time afterwards. As my skin can be oily in places as it is so this is not a good look. But after trying this one out I have to say it has to be one of my new favourites.
This oil is a highly nourishing pre cleanse treatment oil which contains avocado & carrot oils. Which are packed with vitamins & also hydrating. It also contains Raspberry oil which is known to be high in Omega 3 & 6. It helps to hydrate, calm skin & is also great for even sensitive skin. The smell of it is also gorgeous it helps assist eliminating purities from skin while it also helps with natural skin cell regeneration. So it definitely has a lot of great properties for helping the skin.
To use it all you do is:
*Apply the oil as a pre cleanse treatment
*Pour a generous amount of oil into the palm of your hand
*Rub your hands together to help to warm up the oil
*Slowly massage the product with circular movements onto your face, neck & chest
*Let the oil dissolve & then wipe clean with a damp flannel before cleansing
Vitamin C+ Brighten Glow Boost Skin Serum
Vitamin C is needed to help give you that youthful glow & to help against ageing. So it is important for the skin.
This serum is concentrated & is a supercharged brightening serum. It contains Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid & also an effective skin lightening algae extract which helps to replenish, boost the collagen & also improve the appearance of your skin to leave it looking brighter, more radiant & also more youthful looking by boosting the collagen. So it definitely gives your skin that boost that it needs to look & feel more brighter.
To use it you simply:
*Apply serum before using your day/night cream
*Massage a pea size amount into cleansed skin
*Follow afterwards with you day/night cream
For the best results use daily for a minimum of 3 weeks!
All in all I am pretty impressed with the quality of the products especially for the price as they are not like the high end price of products.
You can find the range of Super Facialist By Una Brennan at Boots or Super Facialist.
